SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 462,004, dated October27, 1891.

Application filed January 14 1891. Serial No. 377,696. (No modehf T0 aZZwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH J. HAHN,ofProvidence,in the county ofProvidence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Braid-Spools; and I hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

Braid is sold in the market in rolls consisting of a spool on which thetape is wound so as to form acircular disk. The braidis made indiiferent colors and in the various shades of the colors. It is usedlargely for binding and trimming clothing. \Vhen so used, it has to besewed onto the clothing with sewingthread of the same color as thebraid. In practice it is not only difficult to secure the thread of theexact shade or color of the braid, but a much larger quantity of threadof the particular shade of color to match the braid has to be purchasedthan is required to sew the braid onto the garment.

The object of this invention is to produce new and useful improvementsin spools adapted to hold braid, or similar binding material, and threador silk by which said bind ing material may be sewed.

To this end my invention consists in certainnew and peculiar features ofconstruction and combination of parts, which will hereinafter be morefully described, and pointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 is a side view of a roll of braid provided with a spool ofthread forming the preferred form for carrying out myinvention. Fig. 2is a cross-section of the same.

Similar numbers of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout.

In the drawings, the number 6 indicates a circular disk of practicallythe thickness of the width of the braid.

cross-strips 10, the ends of which are secured to the ring 8. Such acrossfastening may be used on one or both ends to securely hold thespool in the ring, or a label may be pasted on one or both ends to thespool and the ring so as to hold the spool in the ring.

All the spools are provided with the usual central hole, so that theymay be used on a sewing-machine.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. A spool consisting of a ring 011 which braid maybe wound and a secondary spool provided with a groove within the ring,as described.

2. In a spool, the combination, with the secondary spool 6, providedwith the groove 7, of the ring 8, placed over said spool, and a fastening device secured to the ring and extending across the spool, asdescribed.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

JOSEPH J. HAHN.
